Glass
I feel like there has been some confusion
I feel like something is out of proportion
I think the only solution
Is to try to take you out of this grand illusion
(The whispers, the whispers...)
They relish
in the thought to tarnish
it and then demolish
where you stand extinguish
what is left
till you can no longer distinguish
between dream and nightmarish.
(The Soul...)
It turns to glass
can see through but can not pass
the other side is within reach
this is a lesson you can not teach.
(The Mind...)
Stuck in the past
grew up way too fast
yet emotionally childish
and even with this knowledge
What I seek I cant accomplish
I try to speak it comes out gibberish
like I'm speaking another language.
(The Body...)
I'm breaking
but have never broken,
I've bruised
and been swollen
Feverish
and dying
Sick, painful, and crying
Kept it to myself
for fear they'd think I was lying.
(The Voice...)
It wasn't your time to go
But it was time for you to know
That you will never again be alone
To you, I have shown
No longer just an echo
Now forever I'm your shadow.
(The End...)
Fragile yet unbreakable,
and now turned to glass
I let you look through it
can you see at last?
Do you want to go back and try to unsee
I could disappear if you want me to
Just fade into a memory
then fade away entirely...
